1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The growing proportion of older adults in the population necessitates improved methods for assessing functional recovery. Objective, continuous monitoring using wearable sensors offers a promising alternative to traditional, often subjective assessments. This study aimed to investigate the utility of inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based data, combined with deep learning, to predict postoperative mobility, activities of daily living, and discharge destination in older adults following surgery. Data from the SURGE-Ahead project was analyzed, involving 39 patients (mean age 79.05 years) wearing lumbar IMU sensors for up to five postoperative days. Deep learning models (TabPFN) were applied and validated using leave-one-out cross-validation to predict the Charité Mobility Index (CHARMI), the Barthel Index, and discharge destination. The TabPFN model achieved R
